Mule & Whitetail deer are becoming the most sought after big game animals in the country. It’s been hard to find quality mature bucks with the over harvest and poor management in the west. Bear Paw Hunts has changed that by controlling areas and allowing the bucks to become mature before they are harvested. Bear Paw Hunts continues to control doe to buck ratios and eliminate inferior bucks. A large mature buck population has given the animal an opportunity to breed their genetics into the herds ensuring quality animals.

Hunting big mule deer bucks in the rut is a great hunt to consider. Being able to hunt these deer during the rut with a rifle gives our clients and amazing edge to harvest a nice mature Mule deer buck. Our Mule deer are big bodied, heavy antlered and are deep forked. Our Whitetails are known for big bodies, heavy antlers and tall tines. Our clients are amazed at the amount of Whitetails we have in our hunting area. These deer have some of the same genetics as you see just north of us in Canada.

Most of our whitetail hunting is done along the Yellowstone River. The deer leave their bedding areas in the evening to feed on the cropland and return at dawn. We hunt them from ladder stands and ground blinds set up on trails to and from these feeding areas. Deer drives and still hunting can also be very effective at times. You can expect to see anywhere from ten to fifty deer a day and have opportunity at bucks ranging somewhere between 110 and 170+ B&C. Mule deer hunting is our specialty. If the thought of hunting thousands of acres without bumping into another hunter appeals to you, this might just be your kind of hunt. With the Ponderosa Pine, Ash, and Cottonwood trees, this is one of the nicest spots in Eastern Montana. The mule deer spend most of their time in timber patches and the brushy draws that are scattered abundantly throughout the area. Walking ridges, sitting, and still hunting can be effective, but the best way is to use a vehicle to cover as much country as possible in the mornings and evenings. Using this strategy, youre very likely to find mule deer feeding on the edges. The spot and stalk method with a lot of glassing is usually the key here. If you enjoy seeing a lot of country but walking from daylight until dark isnt ideal to you, you will like this hunt. Along with a multitude of other wildlife you can also expect to see 50 to 100 deer every day. Our mule deer hunts have a very high success rate on quality bucks with 8 to 14 points and ranging from twenty to thirty inches wide

It is common to be glassing these areas and see both mule deer and elk in the same canyon. Many hunters who purchase the deer / elk combination license prefer to concentrate their efforts on elk, but a mature muley buck is always a target of opportunity. The mule deer rut here usually takes place earlier than the whitetail rut. If you are looking to score on a rutted up old muley, you might consider booking your hunt for late October or early November.
